Following advice I got here, I flashed kg3 and kc3. Both improved signal and dl speed by a huge factor.

However, I now experience horrible battery life.

Android process used to suck around 25% of the juice but with both new modems, it's more like 55%...

Anything I can do about that at the moment?

I'd hate to go back to jvt but neither of the 2 new modems will get me through a work day.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
If you press the 3 button combo and then release power and hold vol it won't go in to recovery? If not then you are out of luck and need to get in to download mode and flash back to stock and try again.

I'm assuming the rom booted up fine before flashing the kernel.

Si apretando el 3 button combo y despues soltando power y mantienes vol up and down presionado no entra a recovery, entonces estas chavado y tienes que entrar a download mode y flash a stock y empesar de nuevo.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incabrain:
pickup - I was in this bootloop for several hours trying different ROMs. Eventually I got to where my PC wouldn't even recognize my Cappy. I'm not extremely technical, but my theory is that my captivate hates the Glitch kernel. Here's what I did:

I was already in the process of trying to boot an install of RC2.11. I took the battery out. And then...

1) Loaded ICSSGS 2.11 onto my SD card, along with the 3180 update kernel zip file (tried to post the link but I'm too new to post outside links it seems). I inserted the SD card into the phone.

2) I booted into recovery

3) wiped dalvik, cache, hit the factory reset wipe option

4) Reinstalled the RC 2.11 zip

5) wiped dalvik, cache, hit the factory reset wipe option (yes again)

6) Recovery Reboot

7) wiped dalvik, cache, hit the factory reset wipe option (yes again)

8) Installed the 3180 kernel update

9) Reboot

And finally my three problems were fixed all at once:

reboot loops, Home screen buttons, USB Device not working.

I can't say exactly what did it, but i know I tried dozens of other steps before this finally worked.

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

Sorry I'm too junior to post this in the dev thread...

May I request that the app "pinyin IME" (the chinese app) not get rolled in as a required app in future builds? In general, if I can't read what the app is, and it uses permissions like this one does, and is not a Google app, I don't trust it and want to uninstall it.

Battery life

All in all I am happy with this rom. So happy in fact that I took the risk of loading the rom onto my wife's cappy over the weekend! She only cares that the phone is functioning and reliable... and I think so far it is. Thanks to the devs for doing such a great job!

I have the latest nushor's kernel (r3189) and KC1 modem with the 2.11 release. It seems like a good combo for me so far.

I have been updating my cappy to the latest kernel since r3131 and the only complaint I have is the battery life.

I came from the Serenity GB build with a fantastic battery life and even though I am loving the latest ICS goodness, I am having to deal with high battery drain. I am seeing around 10-12% drain every hour. I used to be able to go a full day (10+ hours with moderate use) and still have 30-40% left when I got home at night.

Is anyone seeing the same thing? I have extra batteries and I am seeing the same amount of drain with different batteries, so I am assuming that the batteries are fine.

Well, I hope future releases have better battery management.

Again, thanks a lot to all the devs who contributed on this fine build.:)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinomac:
I have the same setup but experience even higher drainage while only on data. I drained the battery (empty/full over 3 times) and still can't make it 1 day on data alone. While on WIFI its about 2.5-3.5%/hr (during sleep). I don't quite know what to try next either. I believe RC3 will be coming out in the near future (according to IRC discussions). Hopefully, some batter drain improvements will be implemented. All in all ICSSGS FTW!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinomac:
I too was getting 20-30%/hr drain on 3G, so last night I decided to do the following and my battery drain went back to normal:

My steps that worked:

1. backup all apps+data with Titanium backup

2. Turn off phone and charge to 100%

3. Get into recovery using button combo

4. Wipe:

- battery stats

- factory reset

- cache

- dalvik

5. Flash ICSSGS 2.11 (full) from here: http://code.google.com/p/ice-cream-sandwich-sgs/downloads/list

6. Once completed, right afterwards(don't reboot) flash nushor's kernel 3180

7. Right afterwards, flash SensorsFix.zip

8. Flash KC1 modem (or JK4 - ICS version from http://soggycashew.weebly.com/cm7miui--ics-modems.html)

9. Reboot and wait to load (should boot within 5-6 min)

10. Restore apps using TiBu

This will fix your proximity sensor and 3G battery. Be sure to cycle the battery (let it drain to 0, then fully charge, x3) afterwards. Overnight I purposely turned off WIFI, GPS, and BT to test 3G and deep sleep. My phone finally went into deep sleep for majority of the time (90-95%) It just did some k-9 polling to 4 accounts.

Hope that helps.

Back in GB, I could add apps to the system/app folder. ICS doesn't have enough room in that folder to add apps. Anyone know why? or how to fix?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvcduty:
Better

Thanks.

I used part of your recommendation and it seems the usage already improved by 5-6% per hour from 10-12% per hour.

Only thing I tried is the Battery stat reset, cache and Dalvik cache wipe on a fully charged battery and so far, after one full cycle, I am seeing some improvement.

I hear rumblings about the impending RC3 release... I hope some my minor issues get resolved....

Thanks again.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infinitefame:
I'll have to try that. I was on gingerbread before (illuminance) and the battery was much better. Will give it shot. Did you fully charge the phone before wiping stats?

I had a fully charged spare battery handy. So I guess the answer would be, in a sense... yes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dallasweb:
It's a known issue, the fix is found here:

http://ics.samsung-updates.com/trouble/

Look for: "Low storage messages"

Just flash this: LatestDataFixer.zip

Worked.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvcduty:
I used Root Explorer and removed some of the apps that I would not use. Google Books for example. I also copied some of the other apps, Gmail, Youtube to the SD card and reinstalled them from there. That way, these apps become installed apps and frees up some space in the System/apps directory. I was able to free up close to 20MB for apps if I ever needed to move apps to this folder.

This also removed the Low Storage message... until the cache (I think) filled up from browsers and emails. I ended up using the fix but it slowed down the phone quite a bit.

Video Recording Solution on RC2.11

Check your kernel version, Nushor's 3180 found here and 3189 (test kernel) found here should fix that. On a side note IF the sensors don't work after flashing 3180 or 3189 try the sensor fix. If that doesn't work then flash this kernel then the newer one.

As always remember to wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing any of nushor's kernels. Full factory reset may be required if coming from glitch.

Hi.

This latest build is awesome!

Smooth and I have 99% of everything working great!

I have not applied the sensorfix as I can't determine if I am having any issues or not.

Anyway, the only thing I am having some issues is with the Amazon App Store App. It won't let me log in. It worked fine on the previous build but for some reason, it will not accept my log in ID and Pass.
